[REQ] Less annoying TAI Map wanted for patch1.2!!

[stellaferox]

Hi,

I am in very much need of the Less Annoying TAI Map for version 1.2! The old one doesn't work in 1.2 and I found that I cannot play the game without it. All the other Graphic UI's all have a much to big TAI Map and irritating toggle.

I hate that thing too...

TDW UI newest version has an option to always keep the TAI minimized until you want it.

If there was only an option to remove it all together.

You don't see a purpose for the TAI map at all?

I never use it, I use the full map screen to plot courses. I find the minimap a little grand theft auto-ish.

Since I play on 100% realism, there's no information on it anyways.

I do like that it no longer popups in my face when switching to Perescope using TDW UI.

well it's an interesting request and there's probably more like you so I'll add an option in the options file to disable it.

That would be awesome, also one more minor request. If it's easy, could you add an option to remove the binocular crosshairs, that would be just about perfect. I tried to merge a no crosshair mod, but no luck.

btw, the Enhanced SH5 UI is a major win!!!

Yes, I quite agree with PurpleCity

I use the binocs a lot to mark targets, ships and planes. Without the crosshairs switching to red it'll be extremely difficult to accurately call a target, especially with planes.

In real life I could say, "Would you be so kind as to target that plane just there ol' chap? That's a good man!" In game I have to pick the small, moving spot half an inch above the cockpit where the plane will be when I finally click just so.

Not that big a deal really, but a concern.
